I think it's about a girl who was probably sexually abused as a child and a guy who really wants to be with her, but can't because of her psychological trauma. General CommentThis is an amazing love song. (For us to make this work, you have to forgive. She is willing to give up her selfishness.) ( She regrets her web of lies which she implies has blinded her from the truth and/or kept her from seeing his struggles. This may refer back to the "childhood tragedy." Whatever the tragedy is, one or both of them seems unable or unwilling to resolve it.) ( She asks if he could ever accept/love her. You may be affectionate, but your heart is dark.") ( She tells him "You hurt me and seems to me it is on purpose. He acknowledges they both have expectations of their relationship that are not being met in the other person.)Īnd when we sleep would you shelter me in your warm and darkened grave?

( The dreams he has for them don't seem to be working in the face of reality. It isn't always what it seems when you're face to face with me. Sometimes it's hard to hold on, so hard to hold on to my dreams. What if "close my eyes forever" is a metaphor for ignoring or forgiving? Then the song makes sense as a pair of lovers hashing out their issues.) ( The chorus is the main lyric that makes many people believe the song talks about suicide.

(It is not exactly clear who had the childhood tragedy, but because he sings the chorus immediately following this question, asking how to cope, it implies that it is her problem with which he is unfamiliar or a problem that has been in his way for his whole life. Heaven, is in the palm of my hand, and it's waiting here for you She is fearful and unable to tell what is truth and what is fiction in her own mind/heart.) (Her confession later in the song of lying to him is symptomatic here. My Interpretation(Firstly, I interpret this song as a truthful, inner-voice discussion between lovers or would-be lovers.) If I could have just one more wish, I'd wipe the cobwebs from my eyes I know I've been so hard on you I know I've told you lies Would you ever trust me? No I'll never feel the same Will you ever take me? No I just can't take the pain You're like a dagger, and stick me in the heartĪnd when we sleep, would you shelter me in your warm and darkend grave? It isn't always what it seems when you're face to face with me Sometimes it's hard to hold on, so hard to hold on to my dreams If I close my eyes forever, will it all remain the same?
If I close my eyes forever, will it all remain unchanged?
What am I supposed to do with a childhood tragedy? Heaven is in the palm of my hand and it's waiting here for you Is it love that's on my mind or is it fantasy? Baby, I get so scared inside and I don't really understand
